Autologous Pubovaginal Sling For The Treatment Of Stress Urinary Incontinence In A Patient With High Risk Of Mesh Erosion

Autologous pubovaginal sling is a surgical option for patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), either as primary treatment, or in those who have failed synthetic sling placement. It is also favourable for patients at high risk of mesh erosion, for example in those who are immunocompromised or post-radiation. This video reviews the technical considerations in performing an autologous pubovaginal sling fashioned from rectus fascia in an immunocompromised patient with multiple previous abdominal surgeries.
